BF2S Forums Worst job you ever worked

The worst quality of work job:  I was a dishwasher at a small Greek restaurant.  The work sucked but I needed money, so what could I bitch about?  My coworkers were great though.  I also learned to love 50's and 60's music working there.

The worst hours I ever worked:  Two jobs, but for different reasons...  Security at my university.  8pm to 430am during the week.  I liked that job a lot though, because once you know how the rules are enforced, you know how to better break them...    I also worked at a liquor store for 3 weeks around christmas time for 4 years.  13.5 hour days, 6 days in a row is really tough.

The worst management job:  Security.  They often forgot to pay you, and would take weeks of hounding to get them to issue a check.  Electronic payroll fixed all this, but that didn't come into the picture until my last semester working there.

I have never had a job spoiled by coworkers.

Making Candyfloss - for about three hours each day. Then on the tills at the sweet shop...all for about £20. It was no fun.

Would have to be working in a garlic bread factory.

I felt like i had gone back to school,but this time it was "special" school.

At the kitchen in a local pub, washing plates and shit.

Shit was so not cash.

The pay was crap, the chefs were ancient, they never talked, the only good thing was that they employed fit waitresses.

IT Helpdesk. That was jut work experience, so I only did it for 2 weeks. But it fucking sucked. I just sat and answered the phone to thick people then went upstairs and turned their computers off and on again.

Was the helpdesk at your school?

Cleaning the damn snow in Vienna. I did that with a mate for one season and never again.
You sign a contract for a winter season and you get certain amount of streets and parks and stuff and that is your responsibility. Streets have to be clear for cars, and sidewalks for pedestrians. So during the winter everytime it starts snowing you have to clear it. We had a small jeep with a snowplow and salt/rocks dispenser that we used for the street, but all sidewalks had to be done with shovels.
Once it snowed for more than 48 hours straight. So we clear a sidewalk, cover it with salt and some other chemicals and it stays clear for about 2 hours. After that snow start accumulating again and we have to clear it again. So we clear all our designated areas and once we are done we have to go back to the first street and go through all of them again. And so on...
So we did that for about 2 days with just 1-2 hours of sleep occasionally. Usually when its rush hour, too many cars and people to allow snow to accumulate and too hard to work. I think I nearly died than.

vegetables section Supermarket,


Fucked up hours, annoying/pissed 24/7 co-workers, worst pay ever, 1 manager got fired for being corrupt, second one was dissing me 24/7 (I was 14/15), with the Third one I supposedly was doing "everything" wrong, when in fact the manager of the whole shebang (when he was at the store complimented me for doing a good job,

so I had my third 1/2 year contract coming to an end and they were like: "so we know you want to stay here blabla right?" all being nice then, but i said "fuck this, i am gone"

best decision ever

The city I'm in has a bunch of these...


Worked wonders this last season until we got the 50cm dumping.


On topic...

Worst job I've ever done was picking strawberries for an asshole farmer. He put me in one of the rows that had probably been done already so I had a hard time filling up a couple baskets. Four hours of fucking work and I only got $15 (paid by the basket). Needless to say that was my first and last day working for him.

Anything with Customer Service = Worst job in my book.

Paperboy..I had the longest route to take and got paid the least. Fucking £5 a week for an hour everyday after school. Wasn't even worth the Christmas tips.

Worked at Circuit City for 3 days. I was on the product flow team, so not only did I have to unload heavy TV's from the trucks, but I had to conquer my fear of heights by riding the stockpicker up 4 stories and walk onto metal grate shelves that I could see right through to the floor. All this for $7.25 an hour, and I was only temp over x-mas break, so in a month they would have said, get outta here. I walked out on my lunch break and never came back after they told me that another guy did that the day before.

Ive just got home from my job. I work as a KP in a busy italian near where i live. Tonight was horrendous. The other KP left at 10 leaving me to clean the kitchen and then one of the cooks broke the fryer so grease pissed out all over the floor. To top it all off, as i was upstairs getting changed the bar staff thought they were the only ones left and turned all the lights off and set the alarm which went off when i burst through the exit. This is my first job. I hope to god it doesnt get much worse.
